Definition of Charles' Law:


Charle’s law states that the first volume of a gas divided by its first temperature in Kelvin at constant pressure is equal to the
second volume of the gas divided by the second temperature in Kelvin.

Formula: V1/T1 = V2/T2

Inside this formula and Law it can also be deduced that as temperature increases, volume increases as pressure remains at a constant..

In correlation to Boyle's Law, if the pressure is to increase, the volume would decrease and, as a direct result, the temperature would alsodecrease.
The opposite would be true in a setting where the pressure decreases.


Sample problems of Charles’ Law



1) The temperature of a 2.56 Liter sample of a gas is found to be 24.5 ° C. If its temperature elevates to 31.75 ° C, what would be its new volume?
A) To solve, you would first convert the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15
24.5+273.25=297.65
31.75+273.15=304.9
B) Using Charles” Law we know the formula to find the mass
V1/T1=V2/T2
C)substitute the data into this proportion
2.56 /297.65= X/304.9
D) solve for X
X=2.62 L
